The Accurate Rifle

Rating:
Summary: Bench rest only
Review: For the beginner or intermediate shooter there is much here. This is, however, almost entirely for the benchrest and target shooter, with very little for the varminter, tactical shooter, or hunter.

The book opens with the history of benchrest shooting, and discusses the development and origins of the sport. Again, I would not consider this much use to anyone other than the dyed in the wool bench rester, although it is interesting for all. There is a reasonably lengthy discussion of calibers which is largely obsolete- the .222 has been replaced by the PPC range of rounds.

There is some information that is of use to the general shooter, on such topics as wind and handloading for accuracy, although the experinced shooter will find little of use there.

So, all in all a worth while tome, although not benefical to many beyond benchresters.

Summary: A Primer on rifle accuracy by the master
Review: This is a must have for accuracy hounds. By a legendary pioneer of benchrest and highpower accuracy techniques, it is back in print (1996).
